Michaels — Attraction in Milpitas

Michaels is a go-to spot for all our crafting needs! The store is spacious, and there’s always plenty of parking, making visits stress-free. During our recent trip, we stopped by during the after-Christmas sale. While the seasonal sale items didn’t catch our eye, the store offered a fantastic variety of other products. We ended up purchasing several packs of yarn and ribbon, perfect for upcoming craft projects.

The store is well-organized, and it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. However, we’ve had mixed experiences with the automated checkout kiosks in the past—they can be a bit buggy and occasionally freeze up, which can be frustrating. This time, we opted to wait in line for a cashier. Although there was only one person at the register, they were friendly and efficient, making the wait worthwhile.

We appreciated being able to use the coupons and gift cards we received over the holidays, which made our purchases even more affordable. Michaels consistently provides excellent deals, and their rewards program adds extra value for frequent shoppers.

Overall, Michaels continues to be a reliable and enjoyable place to shop for craft supplies. Despite minor issues with the kiosks and limited checkout staffing, the store’s wide selection, convenient parking, and helpful staff make it a favorite destination. Highly recommend for crafters of all...

They're relocating merchandise within the store as they're expanding the already humongous store and its inventory. Purchased the leather sewing needles, the extra strong thread to use for them, was told by the lady staff to use thread wax to coat the thread to make it glide better when using on leather items (thank you to her for the info!) but they didn't have said wax in stock.

Also thankfully noticed the iron/sew on beautiful letter patches (both terry cloth & crystal embedded kinds) in a bin in the back wall (clearance area) for $0.50 ea (-75%), bought 11 of them.

And the 100% cotton pre-shrunk T-shirts were $2.99 ea. Got 3 of those.

Will check out their gorgeous Australian crystal beads and crystal strands aisle (near front of store) next time when not in a rush.

Good, clean store, wonderful, helpful staff, barely anyone else shopping in during this time.

Saved dad's fave fishing hat, which was heavily stained with orange oil and a rip on top by soaking in hot water and sodium percarbonate then sewing on this "D" for Dad patch. Ironed on then sewed in. Excuse the water stain, had to rub parts of the hat with soapy water...

If you like crafting, you'll like Michaels. I like the variety and colors of the flowers. It's fun to pick out flowers in a particular color scheme or just mix em up for something wild and different. There are many different vases, baskets, and wreath rings to use. If you're in to jewelry making there are so many pieces to use, colorful beads, crystals, stones, charms...lots of chains or leather cords. Do you like to draw, paint, color? There's plenty of items for that too. Is knitting or crocheting your thing? Lots of yarn sizes and so many colors to pick from. Anyway, there's a lot to choose from in this store. Something for everyone. And it's Halloween season and plenty of cool decorations. Now, the only thing we, my daughter and I, did not like was the music. It was horrible and way too loud. It should be kept as background music, not so loud as you cannot carry on a...
